Pirate Bay fleeing Sweden

The Pirate Bay is looking for another safe haven in Norway and Spain after its Swedish host came under legal pressure to shut it down.

The Swedish Pirate Party, a small political party advocating transparency and freedom online, has provided internet access to the site for the past three years. But it's handing over those duties to sister parties in Norway and Spain's Catalonia region following legal threats from the Rights Alliance, a Swedish anti-piracy group representing the entertainment industry.

Already the service that was provided by the Swedish Pirate Party is nowadays provided by the Norwegian Pirate Party and soon a Spanish service will open.
